A good while ago a found a few free sock patterns written by a German designer, called Susanne Koelling on Ravelry where she's known as Kennasus (I think you need to have Ravelry account to see her details - if you're not on Ravelry yet then hurry up; it's free!!!); you will find her blog here.
I dropped her message when I noticed that her patterns were only available in German. So I offered her to do a translation for one of sock patterns as a test. I really love her designs - loads of cables, a bit of lace and most of patterns are charted which I love. I gave up on ready written patterns instructions a while ago, usually trying to pick a pattern that has a chart. Charts, in my opinion, are so much easier to read. Written instructions make my head spin and once I have a feel for the pattern repeat I do without the instructions (maybe I should start writing out charts once I'm satisfied with the written instructions - could be something ...)
Long story short, she agreed to the translation. So we decided to her Sprossenleiter socks first - more than 150 people added the pattern to their favourite section on Ravelry and I believe that counts for something.
English version isn't up yet but soon to follow.
Busy weekend this week and I decided to drive to Galway Monday evening for the parade on 17th March with a friend from Skerries.
Otherwise, nothing new really - house hunt is still going on!
